About Us
Welcome to Henkel Construction Company; thank you for your interest in our company. We’re proud to talk about our people, our projects, and our priorities.
Plain and simple, our people have built this company. From our carpenters to our project managers, and everyone between, our success is a direct result of the hard work of everyone on our team.

Our Partners
We collaborate with many design firms, including our subsidiary, Accord Architecture, to make design and construction a seamless package.

Why us?

As a result, they prefer to negotiate mutually beneficial agreements with Henkel to achieve their goals. In this environment, we put Henkel resources to work alongside the Owner and designer, creating one team to deliver the absolute best value attainable in the most efficient way possible.
At Henkel we are actually not fond of the term “negotiating.” We prefer “partnering.” In Henkel’s partnering environment, every participant adheres to guidelines establishing overall project success as the ultimate priority. No idea flourishes unless it benefits the project as a whole. Time after time, by soliciting our advice on material quality, construction sequencing, safety management, and scheduling, clients enjoy reduced risk, reduced costs, increased quality, and shorter delivery times. Our rewards are significantly stronger client relationships and a long list of repeat customers.

History
In 1892, William F. Henkel founded Henkel Construction Company. He drew upon the strengths of his German heritage, a tradition of excellence and pride in a job well done. Along with his skill as a builder, he brought the dedication and craftsmanship of the Old Country tradesman and burning desire to excel in his chosen profession.
From that foundation laid more than a century ago, Henkel has been involved in nearly every phase of the construction industry. The company tradition of bringing people on board and nurturing their development has resulted in a continuum of quality spanning more than a century. Henkel continues to be at the forefront of the industry and offers a variety of project delivery systems for our clients including general construction, construction management, and design-build services.
